Congratulations 2016 POEA Recipients

In 2016, we received 138 nominations from employees and contractors across the company representing the best of what Suncor is all about. On Nov. 15, Steve Williams, president and CEO, hosted a celebration dinner in Calgary, Alberta to honour the award recipients.

The President’s Operational Excellence Awards (POEA) gala is unlike any other event at Suncor. It’s the culmination of months of hard work, and brings together the many people who are leading the way in operational excellence. For the first time ever, the President’s Award, the crown jewel of the evening, was presented to the entire organization for Milestone Achievements in Operational Excellence. Congratulations to all employees and contractors on this historic accomplishment.

The POEA gala also included a dedication to the Northern Alberta wildfire response.

Hundreds of Suncor employees and contractors stepped up, joining with community partners, suppliers, industry and government to help. And, while many were directly involved in the response, the majority of our organization was maintaining our commitments to others, helping out from a distance by donating money, opening their homes, and stepping up to fill in for someone working on the emergency.

2016 award categories and recipients

This prestigious and eagerly sought-after award is presented to the best of the best – the individual, team or business area that excelled at applying the principles of operational excellence and the behaviours of operational discipline to deliver exceptional results or significantly improve the way we work.

The response to the wildfires was the perfect demonstration of how far Suncor has come on our journey to operational excellence – across every part of our business.
